Departed

I said
Your
Name
Before
I knew
You,
Before 
You
Were
Born.
All
Forlorn,
I recognize
Your
Face
From
Some
Far
Distant
Place,
And
Without
Conscious
Choice,
I hear
Your
Voice.
At
The
Last,
Visions
Of
The
Past
Haunt 
The
Day
And
Half
The
Night
Since
You
Are
Gone
Away,
Until
The
Wounds
Admit
The
Light,
And
I tell
Myself
I am
All
Right.
